The Daily Bruin

If you have purchased a car in Oregon this past summer or fall, and have yet to register it with the State of Oregon DMV, please do so before Dec. 31, as registration and title fees are rising on Jan. 1!

If it has already been 30 days since you’ve purchased a vehicle and you have yet to register it, the DMV adds a $25 late fee. If it has been more than 60 days since you purchased the vehicle and you haven’t registered it, the late fee is $50 plus the registration fee and title fee. So, save yourself some money and get your cars registered within 29 days after purchase, and take care of it before year’s end.

– Security Services

The lost and found is again filled to the brim! Be sure to stop by the security office before you leave for Christmas break, as all unclaimed items will be donated to charitable organizations the afternoon of Dec. 15. If you have found items, please get them to the security office as soon as possible!

The Office for Spiritual Life has become aware of a need in the Newberg School District with regard to the upcoming holiday break. Forty-eight percent of students in the Newberg School District participate in the free lunch program, and 168 of the students experience homelessness.

Over the winter break, these children and families will have difficulty getting the meals that they need. The spiritual life office is collecting monetary donations and gift cards to local grocery stores and restaurants to aid our neighbors during the Christmas holiday. Please direct gift cards and/or donations to the Office for Spiritual Life before Dec. 15. Thank you!

As the Advent season begins this week, the Office for Spiritual Life would love to share the The Advent Project: A Collection of Meditations by George Fox University Students.

Each Sunday of Advent opens with a chapter title indicating the theme for the week and offering a guiding Bible passage from the Gospel of Luke. The student writers were nominated for this project by George Fox faculty and student life staff, and represent various academic majors and years in school.

We hope you enjoy!
